Ten years after finishing his Kent State playing career, Colin Ferrell found himself in a position he never thought he would be in. The 2007 alum was named interim head coach of the Flashes following a change in leadership.
How he got to that point was unlikely and featured some luck along the way. For example, less than a decade prior to being named interim head coach, Ferrell had not even considered coaching after his brief NFL career ended.
"As a player, you see the work and the amount of hours the coaches put in," said Ferrell.
